Address Management

Street name plates

The Council is responsible for ensuring that street name plates are provided and fitted in suitable positions.

It is important, as we travel further from our local area, that we can find where we are and where we want to go quickly and efficiently. Most importantly it is vital in the event of an urgent situation that you and your street can be located quickly by the Emergency Services.

We are is also responsible for repair and maintenance of street name plates when this becomes necessary either due to accidental damage, vandalism or normal wear and tear.

In the case of a new development, the developer is responsible for the cost of name plates which are ordered to an agreed specification and erected by us. The information for ordering new street nameplates is provided to developers when new streets are named by address management.
